Ionian Yacht Charters

Search Ionian Yacht Charter

The islands have been inhabited as far back as the Bronze Age. The mixture of different civilizations and cultures is harmoniously welded together into one piece that is undoubtedly Greek, in a complex of islands where the most beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean can be explored. With stunning scenery, protected waters, shorter passages and lighter winds, you are sure to enjoy a relaxed sailing holiday. From Corfu visit the beautiful islands of Paxos and Anti-Paxos with their pretty fishing villages and waterside tavernas. From Lefkas explore the southern Ionian including arguably the prettiest harbour in the Ionian at Fiskardo on Cephalonia, Meganissi, Ithaca and the Onassis owned private island of Skorpios.

Navigation is straightforward with no tides, currents or other hazards. There are good sailing breezes from late morning through the afternoon, but winds rarely exceed Force 5. The wind tends to be stronger at the start and end of the season.

Corfu can be reached via indirect flights with a transfer in Athens or alternatively by ferry from Italy. Boston and New York city offer direct flights to Athens.
